Steem Writer V1.1 - A free multiple draft steem content writer.
Hi Steemians,
I'm a software developer and in learning some new tools, I kept thinking to myself there are many things in the web writer at steemit that I'd like to improve on. So, I figured I'd write my own and share it with the community!
Steem Writer is my solution, and its online and available for anyone to use.

Overview and Features
Here are a few of the features I've built in, which I wanted to address and make something better than the "submit a story" option at steemit today.
- Simple Help and Guided Tour
- No Logins needed at this time
- Multiple Drafts
- Autosave detection
- Live Preview
- Snippets
- Profile Links
Multiple Drafts and Stories
- Most importantly, I wanted the ability to create and switch between many different drafts
- Each draft has its title, story and tags that can easily be saved, so you can switch between them and come back at any time.
- With multiple stories, its eaiser to copy and paste between them for any content or elements in your posts that you repeat.
Live Preview
- The editor has a side by side editor and preview, so its much easier to see the layout of your story, while you are typing it, which I find a lot easier than having to scroll up and down.
- The preview supports all markdown just like steemit, so you can type and see the preview live
- Works on a wider screen layout, so the preview can be scrolled independantly
- Images in the preview will auto scale to the width if you use a smaller screen or shrink down your window.
Snippets
- Similar to to any story, but intended for copy and pasting into your posts, snippets let you store things like your signature, previous post links or other elements in markdown format that you want to have easily available and quick to copy and paste into your posts.
Profile Links
- Enter your Steemit ID, and all the profile links link directly to your profile pages at Steemit, Steemd, Steemdb and Steemwhales for quick convenient linking.

Wow! This is a really cool app that should be in https://SteemTools.com for sure. Thanks
Thanks luzcypher, I've submitted it now to the steemtools site, so it should get listed there!
Looks nice. I'll try composing tomorrow's #chessmatch post on it.
We miss you, by the way :)
Hey Mattclarke, thanks for the comment. This explains why I haven't been involved in your cool chess match lately, I'm been busy programming!!! I do like your chess match idea though, you got me playing chess online a bit for practise just against bots, but its been a long time since I played much, so certainly no match yet for you. :) Keep it going!
I'm on the ropes, just waiting for the end now.
Some good news though, the pot has grown, and the top 3 have all agreed to split the winnings, broken down by total upvotes, so you can expect a few dollars in your wallet in the next week or so.
Well that is cool, I'll have to get in and do some voting still for the final moves.
Hello! voted and followed

Thank you for posting @unipsycho. This tool sounds great and an apt name.
Appreciate you identifying a need and bringing the solution to Steemit.
Thank you for your support.
Thanks bluejay, great to hear such feedback and that there is so much interest already in steemwriter. I have another great automation tool in the works next, I think there is a lot of cool ways to improve and add to the awesome steemit community.
It is very useful, thank you.
Thanks darthnava, I hope you can use it and I'll keep on improving it for sure.
